Kevin Heslin Photography | Costa Rica Wedding Photographer

“Best Photographer
in Costa Rica”

– Fearless Photographers

Authentic wedding and elopement photography for couples who crave real moments over perfection.

A destination wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and it is essential to document the day.

After all, these unique memories will be treasured for generations.

Just the same, you also want to fully enjoy your day and spend time with your loved ones as well. Having somebody with a camera blocking breathtaking views and telling you how to pose isn’t the most exciting way to spend your special day. 
How do you enjoy your wedding day with friends and family in Costa Rica and still have tangible memories that will last a lifetime?

Simple. You just need a Costa Rica wedding photographer who will document all these unscripted, candid moments genuinely and not invade your space. In my experience, these real emotions will end up being the ones you display on your walls or in an album. These are the ones you and your family will look at over and over!

HI, I AM KEVIN HESLIN

I truly believe your wedding is one of the most important days of your life and it deserves to be documented in an honest and artistic way.

For the past 20 years, I have exclusively photographed destination weddings in Costa Rica in an honest and unobtrusive way. On your wedding day, I’m on the hunt for love, laughter, and the little moments that matter. Live it up with your guests knowing I’ll take care of capturing authenticity and pure joy.

A tear in your dad’s eye during the vows, your grandparents tearing it up on the dance floor — these are some of the important moments you may miss on your big day.  Rest assured these moments won’t be lost as they will forever be preserved as artwork.
